Is there any local news that talked about it? I will like to read from a site about it.
This is very possible.
But the reason I do not like face to face sales of bitcoin is that it can lead to physical attack. We have read on different news about different people that were physically attack all because those that attacked them know that they have bitcoin. Attack can come from anywhere, even from someone that you will not expect.
I agree with this argument. As a reference, in my country there was indeed a case—not with Bitcoin, but with other altcoins—using the same pattern of transactions without an exchange, which eventually led to fraud. You can read the news here:
